For my part I can only encourage you to work to

Well I tried to do this. Maybe not long enough...
I don't know how long you have been working on this but here is yardstick from my experiences. I began seriously working on the en.WP policy of blocking non-latin usernames in Oct 2006 [1]. The issue was not completely settled by that community in favor of allowing editors to have non-latin usernames till January 2007 [2]. These things do take time.
If you show some flexability on your part I
imagine you can get the existing
admins to delete to worst of the pages you are
concerned about and set-up a
plan for improving the rest.
I hoped people do actually read my invitation in the very top of my request:
"I therefore ask for adminship rights in Volapük Wikipedia ____or any other appropriate measure___ in order to remove the articles from Volapük Wikipedia, which were not written or substantially expanded by humans."
I even reiterated this in a discussion thread on this proposal in meta.
I cannot do more than asking people to brainstorm about efficient ways how to solve this whole mess if they even disagree that there is a huge mess.
How can I proceed with discussing point 2 if people even don't agree at point 1?
It is generally hard to sucessfully brainstorm once voting is setup. All the same there does seem to be some brainstorming of alternate solutions going on within your proposal page. [3] [4] So I do not think it is so hopeless.
